The file *.kdenlive are xml files ( a text file)  that describe as the project is constructed. So it is not a video or an image. 
You need to render the project in a video file ( mp4, mkv ...) to see an image of the video as an icone.
With your KDE config, you can associate the extension .kdenvile with the application kdenlive, and the files with extension kdenlive appear with the logo of kdenlive.

On Windows is the same. I added this as a wishlist that *.kdenlive files get the Kdenlive icon by installing the application.

I understand, thanks

Kdenlive files should get the kdenlive icon now if Kdenlive is installed properly. However this will not work e.g. if you use the appimage, because the appimage is not going to be installed. If it does not work it is likely more an issue of your OS as Kdenlive sets all appdatas and mimetypes properly (now).

I am closing this now. Feel free to reopen if you still have problems.
